How do you pull bearings from a crankcase?
More specifically, how do i pull the bearings (inner and front main) out of my mach .26?
Should i heat it up in the oven or put it in the freezer? And are there specific tools that i might need to pull the bearings out?

RE: How do you pull bearings from a crankcase?
Yes, heat it to about 225. The front bearing should pop out pretty easy then. For the main bearing, I have a screwdriver with a plastic handle that fits inside from the front (small handle) and just a tap or two removes the main bearing.
You could try heating it up hotter, just make sure the piston and sleeve etc are out first.
